This bouquet is extremely disappointing and all around ugly. I could have bought this at a grocery store for $25. There are carnations, 4 roses and mostly greenery to give the illusion it is a big bouquet. I will never buy them from again.

I live in California and searched for a florist who would deliver to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This order was special to us because it was a sympathy arrangement and we wanted to convey our sincerest sympathy while providing some cheer. I didn't know exactly what type of arrangement or colors I wanted, but I took a chance by ordering a Designer's Choice Premium Sympathy floral arrangement. I ordered online last night in California time and it was delivered this morning to the Outer Banks! Our recipient sent a photo of the beautiful arrangement and it was far beyond our expectations. Gorgeous flower selections with a beautiful uplifting & subtle color combination, all arranged with style & skill. Again, I am so happy and grateful to have found and selected Anderson's Florist.

Case in point: Our 3-year-old niece was so happy to have found a piece of sea glass on the beach. She loved it. However, she dropped it and it shattered, leaving her heartbroken. Seeing some children's jewelry on display at Spry Creek, my wife explained the situation and asked if by any chance they had any sea glass to incorporate into a necklace for our niece. The woman said that they did and then took tools out of her bag and began fashioning a special necklace for her right there! The niece loved it and we are forever grateful!

Horrible communication from the beginning. That's when we should have walked away. To top it off,…read moreflowers were not ready on the wedding day and despite her admitting she knew the day prior they would not be ready she failed to let us know this. We had friends travel 35 minutes each way to get them during the agreed upon time to find Dorothy was not present and her husband said she was out playing tennis and had no idea what they were talking about. Add insult to injury, on $900 worth of flowers she thought $50 to pay for the friends gas was enough to fix it. Lacks ability to take ownership and say "I'm sorry"- instead she said "life happens and we roll with it." She delivered 2.5 hours after the agreed upon time and flower arrangements were pretty but many went to waste due to the delay. It's not worth the stress on your wedding day, brides beware. In regards to owner response, I'm happy to post all emails and the full signed contract to this review.

Shoppers walk along decking and boardwalks to access the shops. Also, there are different buildings within the shopping center so that adds some interest too. My favorite shops here are The Cottage Shop, Sound Feet Shoes and The Cotton Gin. In addition to shops there are also a handful of restaurants and eateries. And behind the shopping center is a race track and miniature golf course. Timbuck II includes some other business too like a massage place and a real estate office.

I stumbled upon Absolutely Outer Banks a handful of years ago and I was impressed with the selection of locally made arts and crafts. Ever since, this is my go to spot for legitimate and tasteful Outer Banks souvenirs. In addition to locally made items they also have some vintage items and even some new items for sale. One item that this store specializes in is really cool resin windows that are unique and exude happiness. Absolutely Outer Banks has artwork in all mediums and in all price points. They have jewelry, wood signs, candles, prints, glass work, textiles, metal work, etc.  On my most recent visit I enjoyed looking at a vintage pin ball machine and eyeing up the beautiful array of Fiestaware. There is plenty of opportunity for ooohhhing and ahhhing.  The owner is super friendly so that adds to the overall great experience. Absolutely Outer Banks is centrally located in Kitty Hawk in the former spot of a bank.
